Is it you?

Erm yes, thats why I would be pedanticsbout what mightseem inconsequential to most managers.
The difference between 230 DPMO and being able to certify 3.4 DPMO is a goodreason to be patiently pedantic about 0.003%. Not sure the point you were making but its not just IT that 5S wouldnt be acceptable at.
Oh and in banking 5S is actually considered quite acceptable... Scary but true.

I did wonder whether you were a factor of 10 out in your original post. I believe 6S is .00003% = 3DPMO (well 3.4 actually, but that's being pedantic)

And not being able to certify a process is (generally) actually a failure on your (group's) part - as 6S should be an integral part of the project, not simply an assessment afterwards.

Am I too pedantic?

No I was meaning the difference in 5 and 6S from a DPMO. Ocasionslly a process is not capable of 6S (usually outside of manufacturing) due to high residual special cause variation. While its always the aim that 6S is achieved, outside of manufacturing, it sometines hasto be accepted that a process cannot be certified as such. You can view it as a failure but not sure thst Deming would.
But as I'm just a meagre Black Belt what would I know?

This seems totally unrelated to my questions.

Is 6S, at 3.4 DPMO .0034% or .00034%?

If you mean from unrated or class zero then it would be 0.00034%.

Can someone explain how 6s could be used in golf teaching - if it can't then it is a system that could do with some quality assurance of its own ...

6S could be used to identify the problem with your game (identify variance for example) and provide solutions in order to fix any issues. Actuallh carryinv out the fixes in the correct manner is, however, your responsibility not the mehodology's.

To be honest Foxie this was a one horse race from ther beginning.:whoo:

class :smirk: :thup:

Class, not class. Always start with a capital :thup:.


It could be me, but I don't see myself as being a pedant so much as one who prefers things being correct, that's all.
The above is just one small example, sorry Darth, it's just the first one I saw.
I hate bad grammar when it's often so easily avoided.

Okay, I'll take the honour, it'll be nice to win something this year.

But in my defence not getting the pressure or flow settings right on an intensive care ventilator or anaesthetic machine isn't an option and can give you OCD for checking and rechecking.

Must dash... got wall to replaster so the picture hangs straight.

In my first ever golf lesson my teacher told me the importance of keeping 6s of ones card, 3s, 4s and 5s are much better.

I think the majority of golfers are pedants. It's those pesky rules stupid!
And yes I am one sadly (not sadly one).

OK, I will come out and put forward 'Foxy' as the Forum king of Pedants. Now I will insist I am correct unless someone can produce evidence to the contrary.
